It only took three short months for Project ELE to send sixteen year old Willow Mosby’s life spinning out of control. Her family has been torn apart; she merely escaped capture by the Hasting’s men and now Alec, her first love, is missing along with her newfound friends. In order to find them, Willow is forced to leave the shelter, her only protection from ELE’s wrath. What she doesn’t realize is that outside, the change has begun and the world will NEVER be the same again.

The government has failed in its plan to implement Project ELE and a war has erupted beyond the shelter walls. The forces of good and evil collide and Willow has no choice but to choose a side. When her rare abilities become a liability an unlikely protector must step up to help her. For if her gifts were to fall into the wrong hands…NOBODY will be safe.

With her protector by her side Willow races against time to find Alec and her friends. After new friendships are built and alliances are formed, Willow finds herself torn between the one she loves and the one who protects her.

Review

My hopes were admittedly low going into this book. I did not much care for the first book of the series but I wanted to be fair and give the series another chance.

I must say that this installment was much better than the first. Rebecca Gober seemed to get more into her story. The writing was more natural, the dialog was not as stiff and the story took on some interesting turns.

I know that there were still some issues with the writing, but I was able to overlook them more easily because the story pulled me in. For people who are more sensitive to grammatical errors and writing style, I would not recommend this book. As for me, I am much more lenient when it comes to those aspects so I was able to enjoy it.
